Regional Info for Tucson

With a current population of 1 million people, the Tucson metro area has been among the fastest growing communities over the last sixty years. Tucson sits in the larger context of the “Sun Corridor” region, which is anchored by Tucson and Phoenix along US Interstate 10. The Sun Corridor is now home to approximately 5 million people and will likely reach 10 million people by mid-century. Tucson will continue to enjoy its fair share of forecasted growth and will benefit from the increased economic activity of the larger Sun Corridor region. Forecasts indicate Pima County will continue to grow at its historic rate of approximately 2% and will reach 1.5 million people by 2030.
